Question

match the graph with its related table.
choose the correct answer below.
a.
time | temperature (°f)
1 p.m. | 67°
3 p.m. | 70°
5 p.m. | 71°
7 p.m. | 64°
b.
time | temperature (°f)
1 p.m. | 67°
3 p.m. | 66°
5 p.m. | 65°
7 p.m. | 64°

Explanation:

Looking at the graph, as time progresses (from left to right on the x - axis which represents time), the temperature (on the y - axis) is decreasing.

• In option A, the temperatures are \(67^{\circ}\), \(70^{\circ}\), \(71^{\circ}\), \(64^{\circ}\). The temperatures first increase (\(67^{\circ}\) to \(70^{\circ}\) to \(71^{\circ}\)) and then decrease.
• In option B, the temperatures are \(67^{\circ}\), \(66^{\circ}\), \(65^{\circ}\), \(64^{\circ}\). The temperatures are decreasing as time (from 1 P.M. to 7 P.M.) progresses.

Answer:

B.
